Aquamarine
An aquamarine is a type of gemstone that is naturally coloured pale blue or sea blue. It is made up of the mineral beryl and is prized for its bright, vibrant colour. Aquamarine is often used in jewellery as a way to add a pop of colour to a piece. It is also believed to have healing properties and is sometimes worn as a way to promote tranquility and communication.
Aquamarine is rated on the "Four Cs" scale to determine its value. The "Four Cs" are cut, clarity, colour, and carat weight. Aquamarine is typically graded on a scale from poor to excellent based on the intensity of its colour, the presence of inclusions or blemishes, and the quality of its cut. Aquamarine with a more intense, uniform colour and fewer inclusions or blemishes is generally more valuable.
Aquamarine can be found in a variety of cuts and shapes, including round, oval, cushion, pear, and emerald. It is often used as an accent stone in jewellery, such as in halo engagement rings or as side stones in earrings or pendants. Aquamarine can also be used as the main stone in a piece of jewellery, particularly when paired with diamonds or other coloured gemstones.

FAQs
How are aquamarines graded and valued?
Aquamarines are graded and valued based on a number of factors, including colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight. The most valuable aquamarines are those with a deep, rich blue colour, as well as those that are free of inclusions and blemishes. Aquamarines are also valued for their cut, which refers to the way in which the gemstone is shaped and polished. Aquamarines that are cut to good proportions and symmetry are generally more valuable than those that are poorly cut. Finally, aquamarines are also valued based on their carat weight, with larger gemstones generally being more expensive than smaller ones.
How do I clean and care for an aquamarine to keep it looking its best?
To clean and care for an aquamarine, you can use warm, soapy water and a soft brush to gently scrub the gemstone. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface of the gemstone. After cleaning, it is important to rinse the aquamarine thoroughly and dry it carefully to remove any soap residue. To store your aquamarine, it is best to keep it in a soft, padded jewellery box or bag to protect it from scratches and damage. Avoid exposing your aquamarine to extreme temperature changes or excessive light, as these can cause the gemstone to fade or discolour over time.
How can I protect an aquamarine from damage?
The best way to protect an aquamarine gemstone is to handle it gently and avoid exposing it to harsh conditions or chemicals. Keep your aquamarine in a soft pouch or a separate compartment in your jewellery box to prevent it from being scratched or chipped by other jewellery. Avoid rough handling or excessive force when wearing or storing your aquamarine. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean your aquamarine, taking care to avoid getting the gemstone wet. Avoid wearing your aquamarine when working with harsh chemicals or cleaning products, as these can damage the gemstone.
By following these steps, you can help protect your aquamarine gemstone from damage and ensure that it stays in good condition for years to come.
How does aquamarine compare to other blue gemstones, such as sapphire or topaz?
Aquamarine and other blue gemstones, such as sapphire and topaz, are often compared due to their similar colour and popularity in jewellery. One of the main differences between aquamarine and other blue gemstones is colour. Aquamarines are known for their delicate blue-green to blue colour, while sapphires are known for their deep, velvety blue colour and topaz can range from pale blue to rich, deep blue. Aquamarines are also generally more affordable than sapphires or topaz, although this can vary depending on the quality of the gemstones and the size of the stones.
In terms of durability, aquamarine ranks 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, while sapphires rank 9 and topaz ranks 8. However, all three gemstones are relatively durable and are suitable for everyday wear, as long as they are handled carefully.
Can aquamarines be worn with other gemstones or diamonds in the same piece of jewellery?
Aquamarines can be worn with other gemstones or diamonds in the same piece of jewellery, as long as the gemstones are compatible in terms of colour and style. Aquamarines can be paired with other gemstones or diamonds in a variety of ways, such as in a multicoloured gemstone ring or necklace, or as accents on a diamond ring or pendant. When pairing aquamarines with other gemstones or diamonds, it is important to choose pieces that complement each other in terms of colour and style, and to consider the overall aesthetic of the piece.
Is aquamarine a good choice for an engagement ring?
Aquamarine can be a good choice for an engagement ring, as it is a durable and affordable gemstone that is prized for its delicate blue-green colour. However, it is important to keep in mind that aquamarines are not as well known or as popular as some other gemstones, such as diamonds or rubies, so they may not have the same level of prestige or sentimentality. If you are considering an aquamarine engagement ring, it is important to carefully consider your partner's preferences and choose a ring that is meaningful and special to both of you.
